Is there no end to the Hough family talent?...."ye gads"....they can sing, dance, do it all!..and, they're all gorgeous to boot!.. "I can't stand it'1"...
Derek's talents extend far beyond singing and dancing. Add choreography, painting, drawing, photography, athletic skills (gymnastics, diving, skiing, snowboarding, skydiving & more--check YT videos) and writing to the list. What most sets him apart, in my opinion, is his continual pursuit to live life with understanding. His growth as a person is evident through the seasons on DWTS and is a huge part of the reason he has won 5 times. He inspires and motivates his partners and even the viewers to believe they are more than they know and can do more than they think they can. He is not only unique on the show but unique in the world. There are not very many people who live and think the way he does. His comment to Kellie Pickler exemplifies it: "the secret to winning, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WIN, is doing all you can do until you lie on the battlefield knowing you have given everything you had to give and there was nothing else you could have done." He wins even when he loses. That attitude changes what he does with his partners and what he does with his life.
Well said, Dfan! Derek Hough is a beautiful, generous soul, inside and out! His book, "Taking The Lead, Lessons From A Life In Motion" is so inspirational. Everyone should read it! It will be a worthwhile experience, I promise you!
Thanks, Rose. I love your comments at PDH. I sign in as Amy there. Always nice to "meet" another devoted DFan. Can't wait to see what this guy will do in his newest adventure on Broadway. I can't go but will definitely be at the MoveLiveOnTour again. Are you going to New York? I love your commitment to DH. Derek fans are more than blessed, aren't we? All these talents and a great heart and remarkable character to make the gifts all the more valuable. Oh and his book is now only $1.99 on Nook. What a bargain.
Dfan Unfortunately, I will not be able to go to New York. But I do plan to attend MOVE LIVE Summer 2015! I am a total Derek fan and, like you, feel blessed by his influence in my life. I found his book so inspirational! I voted to have it placed in high school libraries. He is a bright and shining role model for fans of all ages! I am pleased you enjoy my comments. I write from my heart! Derek's influence has helped me be a better person and to be more honest with myself. Thank you for your reply. Hope you are having a sunshine day! :)
Miriam Ives I totally agree with you! Will you be going to NYSS? Or have you already gone? Will you be going to MOVE2? I enjoyed MOVE 2014. I thought it was the greatest concert I had ever seen. I appreciated the fact it was a family friendly show! I attended the show in Ohio and again in Kentucky. Derek chose me out of the audience to dance with him in Louisville. Most exciting 90 seconds of my life! LOL I have never known a celebrity who was so devoted, appreciative and kind to their fans as Derek Hough! He has the most loving nature and kind, generous heart. He has not let his success, beauty or his array of amazing talents go to his head. He has a sweet and humble spirit. Growing up, I was often the victim of bullying. So his stand against bullying really touches my heart. It is yet, another reason for me to admire him! It was nice to chat with you. Hope you are having a blessed day!
Julianne & Derek just get better as they get older...i miss seeing her on DWTS & i'm hoping Derek stays as long as the show is on..He has always been my favorite dancer & choreographer on the show..thanks for sharing this brother & sister moment with all of us :)
i hope abc will give them their own show like donny and marie osmond.i knew a lot of people will watch it because they are so adorable and they are loved by so many people specially julianne .she is beautiful inside and out .
Agreed,his dancing is by far the best i have ever seen a guy dance he uses so much emotion.If more guys did that it would help the entertainment industry majorly!
Wow, who knew??? Certainly not me, not only are they fantastic dancer's, they have great voices too!!! Kind of like the blonde "Donny and Marie" LOL!! They are extremelly talented brother and sister!
Absolutely amazing song. Performed by two amazingly talented young people. Love this song. God has truely blessed them both with many talents. I am so glad to see that they seem to happily share these talents with the rest of us.
Growing up Julianne Hough was always my favorite dancer and I thought she was an amazing singer! Then I saw Derek dancing and fell in love...once I saw him singing..I fell in love with him all over again....dreamin under the same moon ...
They are just siblings of pure talent. Pure Hough talent. Their singing is amazing, their dancing is spell-binding, their acting is awesome. Julianne and Derek all the way! (:
Katherine Cajulao favorite song is Dreaming under the same moon it's remind me thinking about Robin Torres it's part of me about all my whole life with her this song for her ❤
I swear ABC should give them there own show, The new Donny and Marie, The are Mormon like Donny and Marie sing dance. Julianne a little country and Derek a little bit rock and roll. It would bring back the Varity shows back and something the whole family could watch again.
ryan seacrest ou are stupid for letting julianne go ! you will not find another woman like her smart,beautifulad kind ! i hope julianne will findthe right men who will love her unconditionally and support her dreams at the same time ! god bless you julianne always !
